Abstract:
Chlorophenols (CPs), a group of recalcitrant and toxic pollutants, are widespread in the environment and threating human health. The environment-friendly technology, UV irradiation, could efficiently destruct CPs. The study investigated the influence of solution pH and positions and number of substituted chlorine atoms on photodegradation process of CPs, and also studied the photodegradation pathway. It found that the photodegradaton process of CPs was highly dependent on solution pH, and higher pH favored the degradation. The photodegradation processes agreed well with the pseudo-first order

Abstract:
The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of several special types plasters specifically designed to degrade the most common pollutants which are present in the atmosphere. In particular, specific additives have been added to these plasters, in order to obtain a broad spectrum of active and synergic response, each of which have peculiar functions: - microporous materials, such as clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite, that promotes the adsorption of air pollutants thanks to its porous nature; - nano-fillers, such as carbon nanotubes, that behave both as reinforcing agents as well as

Abstract:
The supported TiO2 photocatalyst has been reported for the photodegradation of different organic pollutants. These supported TiO2 photocatalysts include metal and non metal doped TiO2 photocatalysts. The photodegradation can be explained in terms of adsorption. The adsorption of the dye is an significant and obvious parameter in the photodegradation process. The photodegradation is directly related to the adsorbed quantities of the pollutant onto the surface of adsorbant. Adsorption of Orange II, an azo dye has been reported using different adsorbents like fly ash, activated carbon and porous

Abstract:
Photodegradation of organic compounds in water The application of photocatalytic processes for the decontamination treatment of polluted water has inspired very extensive studies. Titanium dioxide with its large band gap energy and appropriate redox potential was found as one of the most promising semiconductors for the photodegradation of pollutants in the water as well as in gas phase. The titania-silica aerogels obtained by a simple co-hydrolysis method was applied in the photodegradation of the model organic compound. Different ageing times and heat treatment temperatures were found to inf

Abstract:
Porous titania was successfully synthesized by an ultrasound-assisted sol-gel route. The synthesis process was empirically modeled and optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM). Input variables adopted for optimization dealt with the weight ratio of precursors (r) and the sonication time (t), representing the used factors in the synthesis procedure. With regard to application, the synthesized TiO2 samples were tested for the photodegradation of two water-soluble organic pollutants under UV–Vis irradiation. Optimal conditions for the efficient pollutants’ photodegradation were foun

Abstract:
Photochemical degradation plays an important role in the attenuation of many recalcitrant pollutants in surface freshwaters. Photoinduced transformation kinetics are strongly affected by environmental conditions, where sunlight irradiance plays the main role, followed by water depth and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Apart from poorly predictable weather-related issues, fair-weather irradiance has a seasonal trend that results in the fastest photodegradation in June and the slowest in December (at least in temperate areas of the northern hemisphere). Pollutants that have first-order photochem
